Child services ombudsman bill passes Indiana Senate committee

Child services ombudsman bill passes Indiana Senate committee

Legislation to create an ombudsman to investigate complaints about the Department of Child Services advanced out of a Senate committee Wednesday, but also saw major changes.
----
The Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday made two changes to the bill. The ombudsman would only hear complaints about children, rather than also serving as a forum for parents and family members to air their grievances with the DCS. Also, those who file complaints may not publicly discuss those complaints until after the ombudsman investigates.

Note: Complain anyway.
